# swlist
> 2)Where we can download the latest patch from?
There is no one "latest patch" but you can find individual patches and/or standard bundles here:
http://www.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do
You can/should also learn about and how to use the Software Assistant Tool (SWA):

3)How to install?
You use :
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s /patches/swdepot \*
4)How to revert if any thing goes wrong?
By default, a rollback image of the predecessor software is kept. TO remove a patch, you use 'swremove' to remove and restore the previous incarnation.
5)Do we need to restart the server after updating patch?
If kernel (PHKL_) or networking patches are applied (PHNE_) then a reboot will be required. This will be automatic if you use the 'swinstall' commandline example above.
